UMongameli waseSeychelles uJames Alix Michel uvuyisene neNature Seychelles ngomsebenzi ewenzileyo, okhokelele ekubeni iCousin Island Special Reserve ibe yindawo yokuqala yokugcina icarbon engathathi hlangothi kwihlabathi.
Isimo esitsha sikaCousin sokungathathi hlangothi kwekhabhoni saphehlelelwa nguNirmal Shah, uMphathi oyiNtloko weNature Seychelles, ngoSeptemba 27, 2010 ekuvulweni kweTourism Expo 2010 eququzelelwe yiBhodi yezoKhenketho yaseSeychelles (STB) eVictoria, ebanjelwe ukubhiyozela ukhenketho kunye nendalo eyahlukeneyo ngexesha leHlabathi. Usuku loKhenketho kunye neveki. UMnu. Barry Faure, uNobhala weLizwe kwi-ofisi kaMongameli; UMnu. Matthew Forbes, uMkomishinala oPhezulu waseBritani eSeychelles; UMnu. Alain St.Ange, uMlawuli oyiNtloko we-STB kunye eTurboNews Unozakuzaku uvule umboniso kunye nabadlali beshishini lezokhenketho, ii-NGOs zolondolozo, kunye nezinye iindwendwe ebezizimase.
Eqhwabela izandla isikhundla esitsha sikaCousin uMnu. .”
Isiqithi saseCousin samkela amawakawaka abakhenkethi bendalo minyaka le. Ngokuthathela ingqalelo impembelelo yokusingqongileyo kwezi ndwendwe, uninzi lwazo lubhabha lusuka eYurophu luze lufike kwesi siqithi ngephenyane, kwaye emva kweengxelo zemithombo yeendaba eYurophu zibongoza abemi ukuba bangahambi kwiindawo ezihanjwa ixesha elide njengeSeychelles, iNature Seychelles yathatha isigqibo sokwenza inqwelomoya. ugcine i-carbon engathathi hlangothi.
“Njengoko umbutho olawulayo weCousin Island Special Reserve, uqhwatyelwa izandla njengomnye wemizekelo ebalaseleyo yexesha elide yomtshato onempumelelo wokhenketho nolondolozo, iNature Seychelles yayixhalabile ngempembelelo yaloo maphulo eendaba. Eyona nto sasiyixhalabele kakhulu yayilifuthe elibi elinokubakho kwingeniso yokhenketho eya ekulondolozeni uMzala kunye nezinye iiprojekthi zokusingqongileyo, utshilo uNirmal Shah.
"Ngoko ke ngo-2009, ngoncedo lweqabane lethu lase-UK, iRoyal Society yoKhuseleko lweeNyoni (RSPB), sakhetha kwaye saqesha iCarbon Clear inkampani ehamba phambili yolawulo lwekhabhoni yaseYurophu, ukuvavanya indawo yolondolozo kunye nemisebenzi yokhenketho kwiCousin Island. Ugcino olukhethekileyo. Oku kubandakanya iindleko zokungena kunye nezangaphandle kwesiqithi, kunye nehotele, ezothutho, kunye nezinye iimpembelelo ezifanelekileyo zeendwendwe zethu zamazwe ngamazwe. Siye safumanisa ukuba sinoxanduva lokuhlawula iitoni ezingaphezu kwe-1,500 zecarbon dioxide elinganayo ngonyaka. Ihlathi elibuyiselweyo kuCousin laqikelelwa ukuba lifunxa isixa esithile soku. Kodwa ubukhulu becala kwafuneka bucocwe. Kwakhona kusetyenziswa i-RSPB kunye neCarbon Clear, ukhangelo lwenziwe kwiprojekthi yokuhluthwa kwekhabhoni edibana neendlela ezininzi ekuvunyelwene ngazo ngamazwe ngamazwe. Sifumene enye eSudan, kwaye sathenga inani elifanelekileyo leekhredithi zekhabhoni. Kuba zininzi izikimu zokususa ikhabhoni ezijikelezayo, besifuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba le nto siyenzileyo inamandla, inokuqinisekiswa, kwaye isemthethweni. Siqeshe inkampani yokuqinisekisa yakwaNexia, uSmith, kunye noWillamson ukuba baphicothe le nkqubo. Bayinike iprojekthi itshit ecocekileyo. "
IKhomishini ePhakamileyo yaseBrithani eSeychelles ixhase ngemali uvavanyo, ngelixa iikhredithi zekhabhoni zithengiwe ngeengeniso zetikiti kubakhenkethi be-eco abandwendwela uCousin.
Umboniso wezokhenketho uphela ngoLwesithathu, umhla wama-29 kuSeptemba ngo-2010.
